Jimmie Rodgers - It's Over lyrics

It's Over

Jimmie Rodgers

1966

If time were not a moving thing

and I could make it stay

This hour of love we share would

always be, there'd be no coming day

to shine a morning light to make us

realize our night is over.

When you walk away from me there is no

place to put my hand, except to shade my eyes

against the sun that rises or the land

I watch you walk away somehow if have

to let you go now

It's over

If you knew just how I really feel

you might return and yet, there are so

many times that people have to love than forget

Though there might have been a way

I have to force myself to say

It's over

So I turn my back

turn my collar to the wind

move along in silence trying not

to think at all

I send my feet before me, walk

the silent street before me.

It's over

If time were not a moving thing

and I could make it stay

This hour of love we share would

always be, there'd be no coming day

to shine a morning light, to make us

realize our night is over.

Its over
